Example Needs Analysis:
In simplest terms, a needs analysis includes all the activities used to collect information about your students' learning needs, wants, wishes, desires, etc… The information gleaned from a needs analysis can be used to help define program goals. These goals can then be stated as specific teaching objectives, which in turn will function as the foundation on which to develop lesson plans, materials, tests, assignments and activities. Basically, a needs analysis will help you to clarify the purposes of your language program. (http://linguistics.byu.edu/resources/volunteers/TESOLBYU_NeedsAnalysis.htm)
I believe that using a needs analysis is a key element for any successful language course.
